I love the printer/copier, but the ink seems to "dry up" in the cartridge or something. Every time I need to print in color (which isn't often) I have to clean the heads (even if I just used color the day before). I'll spend 30-45 minutes getting ink to come back onto one sheet of paper and it's not just this color, its the magenta and yellow as well. :/

Classic/quality print you can hardly find. I will recommend this for anyone that is looking for quality and not quantity. Though it has it's unique way of saving you money but the savings does not matter. What matters in this case is the end product. At the end you have a quality print that stands out, even if you run a million copy of the same thing it appears just as the original copy. I had to move my laser printer just to have Epson back. I need a quality print that I really don't have to strain my eyes to glance through the tiny print.

Too early to tell re. #pages -- I have recently done a bunch of 8 1/2 x 11 color photo printouts -- I expect that would use a lot of ink. Color carts are half way down after about 3 weeks. Time will tell. Black is holding up well however.

We purchased the Epson printer about a year ago and are really enjoying the fact that the ink lasts for so long. We are just now needing to replace the color cartridges and only recently replaced the black cartridge. The ink never smudges or bleeds which is a definite quality when it comes to photographs and graphs. The colors are always crisp and clear. Installing is a snap and I never get ink on my hands when I am installing the cartridges. The cartridge does exactly what it is designed to do!
